Abstract
Strengthening institutions and improving governance have been the focus of all assistance programs of international donors, especially after the state crisis of 1997–1998. Programs on legal reform, anti-corruption initiatives, support to the judiciary, the training and strengthening of police forces, as well as reform of the civil administration have been among the priorities of the donor strategies and have absorbed a substantial part of the funding. Obviously, there has been some progress, and some results have started to appear in several areas, but problems remain huge and improvements in the efficiency of institutions still are of a minor scale.
